There is no more warmth, and only ghosts of depth...

This is my static reality--
Just a sea of plastic smiles,
And hollow words
Preceding empty laughter...
Cold indifference sprawling
Like so many arms outstretched,
To keep others at a distance.
There is no more warmth--
And only ghosts of depth;
Their black and white shadows
Left to roam the silent halls...
Where life once thrived,
And love stood strong.
